White Wine Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta

It’s been a busy day with school, work, extracurricular activities, you name it, so I’ve decided to dish up this Italian style dinner in the comfort of my own home. It’s simple and doesn’t require much work except for de-veining the shrimp. However, once you get a rhythm going, it goes quickly. Before you know it, you’ll have a bowl of de-veined shrimp right before your eyes. If you’re pressed for time, have the wife, hubby, or one of the older kids tackle this job. While the water is boiling for the pasta, you can prep the other ingredients such as mincing the garlic, slicing the mushroom, and cutting the lemon. Your work is almost done.

This White Wine Lemon Garlic Shrimp Pasta has so many benefits. It’s healthy, requires only a few ingredients, economical, uses only 1 skillet and 1 pot, and the clean-up is easy. You can’t beat that.

Now, you can focus you’re evening on what really matters, for example, relaxing, spending quality time with your family, going for a walk, reading a good book or whatever suits your fancy.

To prepare the sauce I did the following:

Sauteed the garlic and mushroom

Poured in my favorite white wine

Squeezed in fresh lemon juice

Added a dash of kosher salt

I gave the sauce a swirl and let it simmer. I added those beautiful shrimp and after a few minutes I tossed in the cooked pasta. For best results, I let the pasta sit for a few minutes to allow the pasta to absorb the flavors from the sauce.
